Quantum Dynamics of Incoherently Driven Systems

Understanding the molecular response to natural incoherent light, such as sunlight, is crucial to efforts to model natural photo-induced molecular and biomolecular processes, such as photosynthesis and vision. Here we introduce and discuss the significance of analytic solutions to the non-secular master equation for excitation by natural light of a model V-level system. Emphasis will be on the nature and character of the light-induced Fano coherences.
